    Matthew 24:40 Is the rapture secret?

    Well, it seems it didn't matter... Since my previous response I've had two others try to intimidate me, accusing me of not being honest because I didn't give them my family status and where I reside. All of this was because I responded with scriptural principles to an OP that asked for...

    Hello Oncefallen, I seem to be experiencing a few issues when submitting sincere responses in discussions. I try not to make anything personal, but there are a few who seem relentless in trying to bait me into arguments that don't have anything to do with the stated topic, or scripture, but...

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    The topic is about politics and the word of God, not about my personal life. You seem bent on trying to get me to say something personal... For what purpose, I don't know, but I find it less-than-appealing to be in such a conversation. Please forgive me if I've offended you, because you seem...

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    It would be interesting to find a traffic law that that would lead someone to disobey God.

    Matthew 24:40 Is the rapture secret?

    I don't find it fruitful to entertain certain conversational styles. And, I've already had to use the 'ignore' option on someone who wanted nothing but an argument. I'd rather bow out before someone gets triggered and presents themself in an ungodly manner... Besides, I have no need to...

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    The city in which I previously lived enacted a law that made it a punishable crime to give money or food to the homeless when they approach you for help... But there was/is no law that forbids proactively walking up to a homeless person and providing for them. One neither breaks the law, nor...

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    For those who choose to enter a contractual agreement, I would suggest not violating it; however, I am not indebted to such a contract.

    Matthew 24:40 Is the rapture secret?

    "and only Noah was LEFT, together with those that were with him in the ark." Genesis 7:23. The Hebrew word translated "left," (or 'remained'/kjv), quite literally means "left behind." Scripture explicitly states that Noah & family were "left behind." I misread the OP and thought it were in...

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    I don't "live by" laws, I obey them as expected of any traveller to a foreign country.

    AI Robots and Beast System Tech

    Sophia, the well-known AI robot, has been given bonafide citizenship in Saudi Arabia. It is not difficult to imagine an AI robot/computer that can access any and all AI links on all our personal accounts; and to know and be able to reveal anything about any one person whose identity exists on...

    Matthew 24:40 Is the rapture secret?

    Agreed. Noah & clan were 'left,' and the others were 'taken' by the flood/wrath of God.

    Shroud of Turin—real or fake, and why?

    There is a face cloth, that has been believed to be the one that covered Jesus' head, which has blood stains that match the blood stains on the shroud of Turin. (I seem to recall it's been under the care of some church somewhere, I had an article on it, but I'm currently in a weak wifi zone and...

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    I agree, being a resident of any country, one can be affected by the way the government is run, but can still remain neutral as a resident and still consider themselves as belonging solely to our heavenly kingdom.

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    I thank you for your kind response, but I merely quoted, (and paraphrased), Scripture. God bless you, as well.

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    ..meaning, they recognized their sole citizenship in heaven and accepted they were not a part of this world, but were foreigners in whatever country they resided, even the country of their birth. They were taught to focus on the heavenly things and spiritual matters, not on politics. Their...

    Comparing the King James Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Septuagint

    This perspective prevents us from having a reasonable discussion. Thanks, but I am not interested in debating. I've compared the three, and have translated directly from the Isaiah Scroll... I know what it says, and debating is futile and not something either of us should be seeking in...

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    The simple solution is, "obey God rather than men." Christian beliefs and politics are two different realms- they should not be mixed. Yes, we live under a political rule, but it is a worldly institution. The first century believers were not active in politics, but were required to live in...

    The Church is complicated sometimes

    The modern church is not a reflection of scripture. It has been redefined and redesigned as a business and doctrine-based institution. It is run by academic prowess and programs, not the Spirit of God, regardless of what they say. There is no discerning of spirits in our modern churches...

    Comparing the King James Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Septuagint

    Actually, the KJV translators made use of the Latin Vulgate in their translating scripture into English. Latin was not an original biblical language. Case in point, Isaiah 14:12 mentions "Lucifer." This English translation was made solely from a Latin (mistranslation) of the Hebrew script by...
